Looks really good, great work! Anyone knows of something like this but for the terminal? I’m building a job searching app for the terminal and a main upcoming feature is to have application tracking within the app. It would be great to use a kanban system for it Thank you!

This one got a lot of attention a while back: https://github.com/smallhadroncollider/taskell

For someone that's not a web developer, I found Kanboard to be the easiest to set up, and it has all the basic features you'd expect. It's a traditional PHP app where you copy the files to your web server and set a few configuration options and you're good. If you want to use it locally, you download it, run php -S localhost:8080, and start using it. https://kanboard.org/ Note: The project is in maintenance mode, it…

Also available as a Docker image, for example:

  docker run -p 80:80 -t kanboard/kanboard:v1.2.8
https://docs.kanboard.org/v1/admin/docker/#running-the-conta... (that page has info about persistent storage, configuration and so on)

Honestly one of the fastest and least "bloated" pieces of software in recent memory, way more responsive than something like OpenProject (which I use as a self-hosted Jira replacement for my personal needs), as long as the feature set is enough for you. I did rather enjoy the cost reports of OpenProject, as well as having all of my usual epics and whatnot, but kanban works better for smaller projects than scrum.

Even though it's not open source, just free(for very small projects), I have been really liking kitemaker.co

I'm curious what other people think of their approach, and whether that should be a model for open source kanban boards to follow. It's not Trello, which is way to flexible turning work items into a mess, but it's not Jira either. For me it seems to nicely fit the sweet spot of structure and ease of use.

UI seems smoother than Trello or Wekan (on my rather slow machine). Though maybe it's because the demo board doesn't have very much data compared to what I have on those other two. And maybe it has fewer features thus far to bloat the frontend.

I believe the demo doesn't connect to a database backend. Their GitHub says "without server features". https://github.com/plankanban/planka

My sense is that the thing that makes the other sites laggy on my computer is UI stuff. Maybe not though.

Tangent - is there a Docker Wherehouse where I can find dockers to DL an run, that HN would suggest and some use cases of "pull a docker from here to do X - super cool"
